This compact guide provides a straightforward introduction to electron microprobe x-ray analysis, a nondestructive technique that greatly facilitates the study of the chemistry of cells. Assuming no prior knowledge of electron optics, Morgan explains the principle of x-ray production and detection, describes the various methods for converting measured x-ray intensities to element concentrations in thin specimens, and directs the reader to primary sources for more definitive practical...
More DescriptionThis compact guide provides a straightforward introduction to electron microprobe x-ray analysis, a nondestructive technique that greatly facilitates the study of the chemistry of cells. Assuming no prior knowledge of electron optics, Morgan explains the principle of x-ray production and detection, describes the various methods for converting measured x-ray intensities to element concentrations in thin specimens, and directs the reader to primary sources for more definitive practical guidelines. A painless introduction to a powerful laboratory technique, this book will be a useful aid for cell biologists, biological electron microscopists, and electrolyte physiologists.
